  1. 5 gallon bucket with oats in bottom....they fall in but can't get out. Mouse trap loaded with CRUNCHY peanut butter. Smush some peanut bits into the bait holder mechanism. After they lick all the peanutbutter off, they try to dig the peanut pieces out of the mechanism and whammo.
  2. I had a bearing go last fall on my boat trailer after one year post-new pack job. I had a bearing buddy on the hub. Not sure if I got a bad (chinese) bearing set? I usually repack every 2-3 years due low usage. I went to the bearing buddy system because they are more durable to tap back in place. They are also a lot harder to remove as I found out. After seeing the state of the grease after one year......I may have moved into the "repack every year" camp. I started using synthetic grease. I will post my findings. Half the trailer tires have dust caps, half bearing buddies so I should be able to see what is working better.
  3. Happy B-Day J....... hopefully the inmates treat you right today (watch out for that soap on the floor trick)
  4. Gander has A-tom-mik 45 lb copper. Start with a 300' or 400' length. Good reels to hold all that copper and required backing would be Tekota 800 or Penn 345. If I had to spend money on a good setup, I would make sure to invest in a quality SS wire/dipsy setup first.
  5. Prayers sent. What a shock......isn't he like 30 yrs old?
  6. This is a good place to start. http://archives.in-fisherman.com/conten ... rier-kings
  7. If you cannot access the underside, sometimes you can pin the nut against the underside of the gunnel by pulling up on the loose fixure ( to keep it from spinning) while tightening the screw topside.
  8. Most likely they have a nut and washer under the gunnel as screwing into fiberglass with out backing is a recipe for disaster on a load-bearing item. You might need to get a second hand to hold the nut while you tighten topside into new bedding caulk or 3m 5200 adhesive.
  9. Aftco roller releases
  10. Autoloader.....no recoil. Only put one bullet in to teach one-shot kill. Up to a 30-30......there is negligible recoil of rifle bullets compared to a shotgun slug.
  11. OMG Chad, keep the "afro-roast" going. Like a car accident.....you know you shouldn't look but you can't keep your eyes off it. Wasn't that last picture when Jerry asked Larry if it was ok to date his sister?
  12. Mouth of Eighteen-mile?
  13. No more tripping over stuff.......lots of room in the back of the new ride. Good luck with her. Got a name picked out?
  14. That was not a reference to his waist line .......right?
  15. Geez, this cat moves to the area and within a year he has an article written about him LOLl! http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/other ... 691953.ece
  16. Braid will not deteriorate. Leadcore.....try to get four years out of light duty.
  17. Benzene and Arsenic........That is all you need to know.
  18. Been there done that. It is 5:30 am and the kids are in an opening frenzy already. Coffee hasn't even finished brewing.
  19. Have been upgrading my rigger reels with the non-linecounter models. Faster on the pick-up after the release goes off. I have been apprehensive about using them on the no-stretch junk (wire, braid, copper) so I don't over-horse a fish and have the hooks tear out. THESE REELS ARE SOLID. Quality you can see and feel in your hands.
  20. I hear rumblings that the EPA will be closing hydrofracking soon.
  21. Glen, on your subtroll did you hook up the small ground wire? If not it may be why the two are interfering.
  22. Go stillhunting......you will see deer. Get into the thorns and you will almost step on them before they leave their beds (take a small set of hand clippers ).
  23. Nice season Ray. You guys got decent horns in a horrible year weather-wise to hunt. I did my part with does, but never saw a shooter buck. I also have a brother as my hunting companion......makes the whole experience that much more special over the years. Cheers to another one in the books!!!
  24. Holy Crap!.....thanks Rick. I highly recommend the steelhead candy SS for steelies. Moody Blue has been good to me. I can't believe they are discontinuing these patterns . Christmas is coming early for me.
  25. It would appear the deer used the light from the camera to see it's tomentors. I have noticed deer will bed close to houses at night. I always thought it was to stay away from coyotes and have some light to see by. The deer in the video looked healthy to me......f@ckers!!!!
